Spot on, Cal. Back in my day, a job was a job and you could rely on it for life, unlike the uncertainty we see now.

Diplomacy usually starts once the bridges have already collapsed, Nina. A classic case of fixing the plumbing while the house is on fire.

Targeting civilian infrastructure seems like a dangerous game that could spiral out of control quickly. Wouldn't it be more effective to push for high-level diplomatic mediation now before the damage becomes irreversible? Curious if there's any legal loophole that prevents this from being classified as a war crime.

Targeting civilian infrastructure is a dangerous game that usually backfires. From an international law perspective, we're entering very murky waters here. I wonder how this will play out with regional allies who are already terrified of total instability? This kind of escalation rarely leads to a diplomatic exit strategy.

This is such heavy stuff to wrap your head around, especially the part about targeting civilian infrastructure. It feels like a movie plot but with terrifying real-world stakes. Do you think these kinds of threats actually work as a deterrent, or just make things worse?
